Pick the Winners-Week 1 (closed entries)

[publius]

Welcome to another season of picking the winners of key DI WVB games! As in the past, this contest runs weekly through the regular season. (There may be a separate NCAA tourney contest.) Scoring for this season's contest:

1. One point for each correct pick in each weekly contest;
2. Ten points for winning each weekly contest;
3. Ten points for picking every match correctly in any weekly contest; and
4. Five points for picking the five highest non-perfect weekly scores over the course of the season.

WEEK 1 CONTEST:

Please copy and paste, using the exact format set forth below instead of customizing your entry, and delete each team you do not pick to win. Only type in the tiebreaker points scored (game #19). If you do not use the above format, which makes scorekeeping far easier, your entry may be disqualified. Home team listed first. An (N) preceding the first team denotes a neutral venue. (If there is still a tie after scoring the tiebreaker, the earliest completed entry is the contest winner.) Remember to review your entry to ensure you have picked one team to win each game. Once you have posted an entry, you may log in and click the "modify" link on your original entry if you want to make a change to it at any time before the deadline. (Do not post a separate reply to make any changes.) Please sign-in to VT every now and then before entries close to ensure that there have been no changes/corrections to the contest that you may not have been aware of when you originally submitted your entry. One entry per contestant. Entries/edits must be posted not later than 2 p.m., California time, Friday, August 24.

Tough week. Almost took A&M over SC, but will take Mick at his word; the serve receive is ahead of schedule, and that, of course, is all. Originally had St. Mary's over Stanford, but will take Coach Dunning at his word today, that Wopat and Walker were simply taking the day off, not really hurt bad, and Burgess had a flue. Trusting coaches! And taking Kentucky twice; thinking Long Beach reeling from the loss of Hamptoon and Kntucky at home, and remember the Wildcats tough v. Texas in the tourney last year. Think it's the first time I ever took Kentucky, unless a walkover. And Marquette Northwestern. Who has a clue out here in California?
